When first I came into this country
It was to view the sweet flowers gay
I feel courting a pretty fair maid
She appeared to me like the Queen of May
I asked her kindly would she marry
Or would she choose to be a sailor’s wife
Oh no, kind sir, I would rather tarry
And live a quiet single life.Thou fairest creature, you have enslaved me
Why do you differ from all female kind
For you are youthful fair and handsome
And to marry you I am much inclined
Oh no, kind sir, since I must tell you
I have promised those five years or more
To one O’Reilly from the county Kerry
Which often grieves my poor heart full sore.I wish I had you in Phoenix island
One hundred miles from your native home
Or is a valley where none could find you
Then you might consent, to be my own
It’s there I’d caress my jewel
If along with me you’d incline to go
I’d sail you over to Pennsylvania
And bid adieu to O’Reilly for ever more.You have not me in Phoenix island
A hundred miles from my native home
Nor in a valley where none could find you
I’d not consent then to be your own
So, therefore, don’t tease me or yet displease me
For along with you I’m not inclined to go
So do sail over to where you came from
And I’ll wait for Reilly for evermore.You’re like the swan love, that sails on the ocean
Making motion with both its wings
Your snowy breast love would be a portion
For any lord or an Irish king
For you are youthful fair and handsome
You are fitting to be a Queen
I wish I was in battle wounded
Before your beautiful face I’ve seen.In the morning when I cannot see you
My heart lies bleeding for you all day
And in the evening when I can’t come near you
Those that are bound love, they must obey.
Youth and folly make youngsters marry
And keeps them sorry for longer days
What can’t be cured love, must be endured love
So farewell darling, I must away.
